Having suddenly gained freedom, the mercenary probably knew he couldn't run away, so he raised his longsword and charged at Aske.
Aske calmly swung his sword, Throat Slash! It was as if the opponent had anticipated it, quickly hopping back to evade.
Stepping Rush! In the instant the opponent hopped back, Aske moved half a step like lightning, the blade of his sword thrusting toward the opponent's abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, the mercenary suspended in air tried to Block the Straight Stab with his sword, not expecting Aske's longsword to suddenly retract mid-thrust, causing him to Block at nothing.
Mountain Crashing Strike! Aske, who had just retracted his sword, twisted his body and swung his arm in another Mountain Crashing Strike. The mercenary, still in mid-air, unable to Evasion, could only struggle to lift his sword for an upward Block. He was struck directly by the Mountain Crashing Strike and fell to the ground, along with his sword.
